A Whimsical Art Nouveau Wedding

A love that began in London and crossed oceans deserved a setting just as magical — and for Alyssa and Neil, that dream came true at Toronto’s iconic castle, Casa Loma.

“We met in August 2018 in London while I was working at a charity where Neil was employed,” Alyssa recalls. “We began dating in 2019, and in 2022, we had a small civil ceremony in Richmond. But we always envisioned a celebration that brought everyone together — and Casa Loma was the perfect place to make that dream real.”

Inspired by the elegance of Art Nouveau, the couple’s wedding was a romantic fusion of curved lines, floral motifs, and natural beauty. The ceremony unfolded in the castle’s breathtaking Conservatory, where sunlight poured through the stained-glass dome, casting a golden glow on a lush tapestry of purple, blue, pink, orange, and cream florals.

From the start, Alyssa dreamed of florals that felt vibrant, organic, and full of depth. Rich textures and bold colors brought that vision to life. As the evening progressed, with candlelight dancing across stained glass and historic stone, it felt like a timeless dream captured in a single moment.
